Railcard end date advice?

[northernrail2009]

i have a family Railcard and on it it says valid until April 10th so does that mean it runs out at 23.59 on April 9th or 23.59 on April 10th?

2359 on April 10th

The displayed date on the railcard is the final date of validity.

Wouldn't it be valid until 0429 on 11th April, although the travel ticket would need to be dated for the 10th.

This question came up before, recently. I believe not. The 0429 extension is mentioned in the general restriction text on most ticket types, but is not mentioned in the T&Cs for railcards

The reality is provided you started your journey before 23:59 on the 10 April and your ticket was valid, no one is going to question you finishing off your journey. However, if you started a new journey at any point on the 11th your railcard certainly would not be valid with your ticket.

But this would be WAY past the children's bedtime...

I understand that the railway day lasts from 00:01 on 'day 1' to 04:29 on 'day 2', and hence consider that a journey commenced at, say, 02:15 on April 11th, with scheduled arrival before 04:29, and with a ticket dated April 10th, would be deemed to be part of April 10th for ticketing purposes, including railcard use.
